Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley is reporting that Special Counsel Jack Smith just can't wait for an appellate court to rule on Donald Trump's claims of immunity — instead, he's asking the Supreme Court to rule on the issue.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is now seeking to leapfrog the appellate court and ask for a ruling from the Supreme Court on Trump's immunity claims. The only reason for this petition is to seek to guarantee a trial of Trump (and possible conviction) before the election...

...The matter is currently before the D.C. Circuit which is viewed as a favorable court for Smith. However, Smith is trying to avoid any delay in the March trial date, set to begin the day before Super Tuesday...

...The Supreme Court may not view a trial of Trump during the campaign to be as motivating or urgent as does Smith. This is a novel legal argument that the Court would ordinarily prefer to hear the views from the appellate judges.

Authoritarian Biden regime and its DOJ lackeys are violating every norm to ensure they get quick show trial conviction of their political opponent. While most in media obey Biden's demand that they ignore what he's doing and claim that Republicans will jail political opponents. https://t.co/Gnm35n2LFB

You can’t blame them. The election is coming soon. They are on a very tight schedule.

Here is the real reason:

"Smith knows he can't win at trial .. and doesn't want to hand Trump a monster win right before the election
So now he's expediting hoping the majority Trump appointed SCOTUS can provide him with a scapegoat"
Tell me I'm wrong
Reeks of partisan desperation and increasingly making it look more like a political witch hunt.

The tricks that liberals play. Let’s hope the high court decides to hear this but after the election.

Jack Smith is nakedly partisan and has no business abusing the justice system and interfering in our elections like this. What he’s doing is much worse than anything he’s accusing Trump of.

“We can’t interfere in the election after the election so this needs to happen before the election.”
Watch them throw Trump in prison before the election, which he then wins, pardoning himself.
